Named Entity Relationship Mapping in R

Overview

This project demonstrates Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Entity Relationship Mapping using R. We extract named entities (people, organizations, locations) from Wikipedia articles and map their relationships using dependency parsing techniques.

Key Concepts

Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identifying and classifying named entities in text
Dependency Parsing: Analyzing grammatical relationships between words
Entity Relationship Mapping: Discovering connections between entities
Network Analysis: Visualizing entity relationships as graphs
